Passatge del Crèdit, Historic passageway in Gothic Quarter, Barcelona, Spain
Description
The Passatge del Crèdit is a covered walkway connecting two main streets in the Gothic Quarter and bordered by stone buildings with cast-iron architectural details. Inside, narrow pedestrian paths feature classical architectural elements that create an intimate space.
History
This passage was built in 1879 following the demolition of a Capuchin convent and marked a shift in Barcelona's urban planning. The project shows how the city replaced older structures with new public pathways in the late 1800s.
Culture
This passageway is protected as a Cultural Asset and shows how Barcelona created shared public spaces for pedestrians in the late 1800s. The narrow walkways and building design reflect the daily life of that era.
Practical
The passage is easy to reach and sits near bus stops and major landmarks in the Gothic Quarter. You will get the best views during daylight hours when sunlight highlights the stonework and architectural details.
